Have You Ever Read A Book More Than Once If So Which Book Have You Re

[email protected] Some books are just too good not to reread several times. My current favorite is Rosamunde Pilcher's "Winter Solstice." I have read the book four times now, and even purchased the book on tape, as I love hearing the story as I commute! Each winter, I try to reread all of Jane Austen --- her books are such rich tapestries of life. Each reading uncovers a new delight, a new detail I hadn't noticed before, some cozy line that clings to my mind! Books that can be reread over and over again become part of our lives and true classics! [email protected] I HAVE REREAD THE STAND BY STEPHEN KING 5 TIMES.

[email protected] I always reread-books that have given me hours of pleasure, are placed on my library shelves and always available. The list of authors is a long one and includes all genres. I love to reread: Martha Grimes Elizabeth George Auel Modesitt [email protected] I love rereading the diaries of Anais Nin. I can curl up in the middle of a Kansas icestorm to read her diaries and feel instantly transported to Paris of the 1930's. [email protected] I love to read other people's commentaries. My two favorite volumes are Daniel Pinkwater's "Hoboken Fish and Chicago Whistle" and Jerome Kern's "Radios: Short Takes on Life and Culture." I must have read Pinkwater's book twenty or twenty-five times, and maybe...

[email protected] I am constantly rereading books. I might branch out more but I don't get to the public library as much as I would like, and the library at college has one of the worst fiction sections I have ever... [email protected] My entire Agatha Christies Collection and all my Tony Hillerman Books, Elliot Roosevelt series and Sherlock Holmes. I have had 3 copies of the Prophet. If it is good I will read and reread. [email protected] It just so happens that I am currently rereading The Robots of Dawn by the late, great Isaac Asimov.

I just finished rereading his Foundation Series. What a visionary....what a genius, and it just so happens that he and I are both graduates of CCNY (City College of NY). A book has to be very special for me to reread it. Other rereads tend to be classics I read back in college: Annie Karenina, Brothers Karamazov, Steinbeck etc. I tend to love big, meaty novels. I have read Gone With the Wind more times than any other book.

[email protected] I have read The Alexandria Quartet 5 and one half times, Gone With The Wind four times and Watership Down twice and plan to read it whenever I get ill and want... [email protected] Anna Quindlan's "How Reading Changed My Life" [email protected] Yes, I reread on a regular basis. I have no idea which one book I've reread the most. I have many favorites, and they all take their turns on the rereads. Authors that often come to my hand for another visit with old friends include Louisa May Alcott, Alexandre Dumas, Inglis Fletcher, Bodie Thoene, Elswyth Thane, Gene Stratton Porter, Anne McCaffrey, Elizabeth Goudge, Jean Auel... [email protected] It has to be "The Hobbit." I have read this marvelous book about seven or eight times.

Why? It's absolutely delightful fantasy. I feel good each time I read it. [email protected] Clan of the Cave Bear and it's series twice. It's my favorite book and the first time I read it I was pregnant with my daughter. I was reading it on my birthday and I felt her kick.

It was the best birthday present I ever received. That was 23 1/2 years ago and now my daughter has read that same book THREE times. We both can't wait for the sequel to come out in April. [email protected] Robert Ludlum, the Bourne books. Reread the first when the later one came out. [email protected] Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole.

Have read this at least 4 times, it still makes me laugh each time! [email protected] GREAT EXPECTATIONS by Dickens at least 3 times and Bridges of Madison County twice. [email protected] When I was a teenager, I read a book called "How Green Was my Valley" by Richard Llewellyn, and it had such a profound affect upon me that I have read it... It is so beautifully written, so lyrical, as are the Welsh, it is a thing of beauty. [email protected] I've reread Catcher in the Rye, Nine Stories (both by Salinger) and The Great Gatsby numerous times. They just keep getting better and better.

[email protected] I have read Patty Jane's House Of Curl by Lorna Landvik twice and listened to it twice on tape, unabridged. I love that book and have given several copies to friends. [email protected] I love Rumer Godden's CHINA COURT. You can open it up anywhere and start reading and it makes as much sense as if you started in the front of the book. And Nora Lofts' A WAYSIDE TAVERN. Another story of a house/home.

And Janice Holt Giles' HANNAH FOWLER. Could have been my great great grandmother's story. And Jean Auel's CLAN OF THE CAVE BEAR, the whole set. I am so glad another book is going to be out soon. [email protected] I have read a couple books twice: Catcher in the Rye, To Kill a Mockingbird and A Prayer for Owen Meaney. I had read them all when younger, but reread them for my local Barnes & Noble book club.

You get a different perspective on books the second time around. [email protected] I read the V. C. Andrews books 3 times. The whole series. And Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn 5 times.

And I've read Jaws twice. [email protected] I definitely repeat favorites. I have reread the following books atleast six times each: The Stand, Cashelmara, Penmarric, Replay, The Bannerman Solution, A Woman of Independent Means, and Pillars of the Earth. There are many other books that are worth more than one read. [email protected] Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness --- 8 times. An incredible work of literature.

It's better every time I read it. [email protected] WRITING DOWN THE BONES, by Natalie Goldberg. Whenever I hit a "dry spell" as a writer, Natalie inspires me. I have her book in hardback and audio and read/listen everywhere. [email protected] I've read Gone With The Wind at least five times now. [email protected] Grendel by John Gardner.

Maybe a dozen times. I get different meanings every time. [email protected] The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury. This is my eighth reading. [email protected] Gone With The Wind --- twice. [email protected] I don't normally reread a book.

However I am currently rereading "Lord of the Rings" for the fourth time. [email protected] The book I reread is Precious Bane by Mary Webb (I think). I have read it four times, and I never reread books. I am waiting for an appropriate time to reread Angela's Ashes and Life and Death in Shanghai. [email protected] I have read "Gone With the Wind" at least 6 times. [email protected] I have never reread an adult book.

I reread children's books all the time because I am a school teacher. However, I have kept some of my all-time favorites, just in case I am homebound in my old age! [email protected] Gosh I'm almost embarrassed to admit this, but truthfully I've read "I'm With The Band: Confessions of a Groupie" a total of 3 times. Certainly not great literature but as a teenager, I found it's titillating peek into her flower girl, free lifestyle captivating. And she was so likable! I've also read "Simple Abundance" by Sarah Breathnach a couple of times.

I'm sure to read that yet again in the future. [email protected] Every few years I reread Illusions: Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah by Richard Bach. This small book is jammed full of valuable life lessons and thought-provoking ideas. [email protected] I have read Gone With The Wind 3 times: once as an eighth grader, once as a high school student and once as a new bride. It was amazing to me what more I got out of the book each time I reread it. I can see how my naivete was when I was younger and how I grew up.
